Hellfires are not used in ATGM role alone.Regarding SANT/Helina- Only trials after trials.
For the time being ATGMs remain only a devastating threat for armoured vehicles as no modern military has widespread adoption of the APS.
Hellfires are the primary strike weapon of Amru drones and hit just about anything including shelters where a bunch of tangos are hiding or just doing their thing.
Going forward, we will need a similar weapon in great numbers because the LoC and LAC could get quite hot.
Both Brimstone and Hellfire are very formidable weapons and we have to arm our frontline helis and drones with these at the earliest. As of now, only the Apaches carry Hellfires and probably the Reaper/Predator whichever are in the pipeline.
